Creating Virginia Tech helmets is superfan Jake Gonnering's passion.
Des Moines, Iowa might be the last place you'd look to find a Virginia Tech Hokie fan. Jake Gonnering is one such fan, who resides there after playing football at the University of Northern Iowa. As a teenager, Jake was captivated with Michael Vick and the magical 1999 Hokies club. He is still a huge Virginia Tech fan, and is channeling his passion into some amazing creations. Jake always liked "looking mean or at least unique" in his playing days, and you can see that in some of his Virginia Tech helmets.
